Lyrics
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy, but
He was looking to the sky and
As he asked, if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds, just what he's lookin' for
Like a shooting star, he shines
And he said...
Take my hand, live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie
Right in the palm of your hand?
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although, they did not feel, no
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal, and
As I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of time
And he said...
Take my hand, live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie
Right in the palm of your hand?
In the palm of your hand
Please come with me, see what I see
Touch the stars for time will not flee
Time will not flee, can't you see
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy, ah
Was it all in my head?
Did he ask if I would come along?
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy, standing there with a deal
And he said...
Take my hand, live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie
Right in the palm of your hand?
In the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy, but
He was lookin' to the sky
